Horizontal epistemology says knowing is knowing what to do at the right time and place and with the right crowd, and that this knowing is spread across many agents. I set it against the vertical, god-like picture of justified true belief.
How the word moved
In August 2014 I mentioned "cognitive epistemology" in passing in The Design of Philosophy. In July 2020 it came back properly, as the shift from scientific epistemology to cognitive epistemology. Six years to take my own hint. That's slow, even for me.
In my words
"The main shift, as I see it, is from scientific epistemology to cognitive epistemology."
